该奖项提供部分支持的国家两年一度的会议的改造中心。 再造中心成立于2000年，以支持博耶委员会在广泛阅读的出版物中提出的建议：“重塑本科教育，美国研究型大学的蓝图”（1995年）。这个再造中心会议的首要目标是重新-建立再造中心，作为实现博耶委员会目标的一股力量，并与主要学院和大学协会直接联系。第一次全体会议将是一个小组讨论，题为”博耶二十年后，研究型大学对本科生的持久承诺：发现的精神问题。“博耶委员会的目标是：1。使研究性学习成为标准2.构建一个基于调查的大一3。建立在新生基金会4。消除跨学科教育的障碍5.沟通技巧和课程工作的链接6.创造性地使用信息技术7. 8.第8章. 9.培养研究生当学徒教师。改变教师奖励制度10.培养社区意识本次再造中心会议将为评估大学联盟如何兑现研究型大学提供独特价值的本科教育体验的承诺奠定基础。 会议将启动一个合作集群，每个集群由教师，工作人员，管理人员和其他教育工作者组成的网络，将在持续的基础上得到支持。 将推出五个新网络：（1）应用分析;（2）学习科学（和教学创新）;（3）课程和课外整合;（4）杰出教学学者;（5）学生成功。 每一个都将包括学科分组，包括STEM领域。（已经建立了重点网络（1）本科研究项目主任，（2）评估专家和STEM教育工作者，以及（3）写作学习专家。 这些网络自成立以来一直有效运作。

This award provides partial support to the national biennial conference of the Reinvention Center. The Reinvention Center was formed in 2000 to support the recommendations of the Boyer Commission in the widely read publication: "Reinventing Undergraduate Education, a Blueprint for America's Research Universities" (1995).The overarching goal of this Reinvention Center Convention is to re-establish the Reinvention Center as a force in achieving the goals of the Boyer Commission and to connect directly with major college and university associations. The first plenary will be a panel discussion entitled" "Twenty Years after Boyer, Research Universities' Enduring Promise to Undergraduates: the Ethos of Discovery Matters." The goals of the Boyer Commission are:1. Make Research-Based Learning the Standard 2. Construct an Inquiry-based Freshman Year 3. Build on the Freshman Foundation 4. Remove Barriers to Interdisciplinary Education 5. Link Communication Skills and Course Work 6. Use Information Technology Creatively 7. Culminate with a Capstone Experience 8. Educate Graduate Students as Apprentice Teachers 9. Change Faculty Reward Systems 10. Cultivate a Sense of Community This Reinvention Center conference will lay the groundwork for an evaluation of how consortia of universities can deliver on the promise that research universities provide a distinctively valuable undergraduate educational experience. The conference will launch a cluster of collaborations, each comprised of a network of faculty, staff, administrators, and other educators that will be supported on a continuing basis. Five new networks will be launched: (1) Applied Analytics; (2) Science of Learning (and Pedagogical Innovation); (3) Curricular and Co-Curricular Integration; (4) Distinguished Teaching Scholars; and (5) Student Success. Each of these will include disciplinary subgroups including STEM fields. (Already established are focused networks of (1) directors of undergraduate research programs, (2) assessment specialists and STEM educators, and (3) writing-to-learn experts. These networks have functioned effectively since their formation.]
